Customer Reviews
An excellent account of the LTC
Personally, I have found the Losing Trick Count (LTC) the simplest and most productive bidding tool I have ever used. Everybody should use it - it really is that good. Furthermore, the LTC is the one bidding tool you can use unilaterally. There is no need to agree it with your partner. He may not even know you are using it and will just think that you're a better bidder than most! The first few chapters of Ron Klinger's book will give you all you need to get started with the LTC confidently and successfully.
It's got more than I need
If you've been playing club bridge for more than a couple of years, then you should know about the Losing Trick Count.
After playing for over 30 years, I recently became aware of it. It's a method of valuing your hand, and bidding accordingly. You can EITHER fit it in alongside Acol, OR (under some circumstances) have it modify your use of Acol.
After reading this book, I started using it without telling my partner! On the first night we made two games which we probably wouldn't have made before (playing Acol with several conventions).
So I thoroughly recommend it. Why only 4 stars? Because the principles are so simple that they hardly warrant a full book, unless you are an expert. But it's still well-worth the money.
